There are 2 clinical trials
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effects of clinically prescribed ivacaftor treatment on 6-24 month old children with CF and gating mutations on sleeping energy expenditure, growth status and gut health and function.
Each value will be used to calculate the growth velocity percentile of the subjects over the course of 12 weeks on ivacaftor treatment compared to baseline..

Description: Investigators will examine the effects of 12 weeks of Ivacaftor treatment on subject's SEE. Using indirect calorimetry, SEE will be assessed using a computerized metabolic cart Vmax ENCORE at each protocol visit while the child is asleep. SEE will be assessed in the morning if possible and careful note of previous feeding of the child, including the time of day, amount of food, and feeding interval prior to test
Measure: Sleeping Energy Expenditure Time: 12 WeeksDescription: Investigators will examine the effects of 12 weeks of Ivacaftor treatment on subject's BMI. Investigators will compare the results to BMI Z scores over 12 weeks compared to baseline.
Measure: Anthropometric Assessment Time: 12 WeeksDescription: Investigators will examine the effects of 12 weeks of Ivacaftor treatment on subject's pancreatic function. Pancreatic function will be assessed at two visits by obtaining spot stool samples with fecal elastase 1. The concentration of fecal elastase I is indicative of pancreatic function.
Measure: Fecal Elastase I/Pancreatic Function Time: 12 WeeksDescription: Investigators will examine the effects of 12 weeks of Ivacaftor treatment on subject's gut health and function. Spot stool samples will be obtained to determine fecal calprotectin, a marker for gut inflammation.
Measure: Fecal Calprotectin/Gut Inflammation Time: 12 WeeksDescription: Investigators will examine the effects of 12 weeks of Ivacaftor treatment on subject's dietary fat absorption. A total plasma fatty acid panel will be assessed to measure the change in status of 22 fatty acids, the concentration of plasma fatty acids is indicative of dietary fat absorption.
Measure: Plasma Total Fatty Acids: Time: 4 to 6 monthsDescription: Three day weighed food record will be obtained and to determine changes in dietary caloric intake and micro and macronutrient intake over the course of 12 weeks on ivacaftor treatment. The weighed food in grams will be used to determine the calories consumed, as well as calories from fat. The caloric intake will be used to determine micro and macro nutrient intake.
Measure: Dietary Intake Time: 12 WeeksDescription: Investigators will examine the changes in serum vitamin A, E, D and K concentrations after 12 weeks of Ivacaftor treatment. Additionally, investigators will examine the changes in total serum bile acids concentration and 14 bile acid species. Additionally, serum calprotectin will be obtained as a marker of lung and gut inflammation.
Measure: Serum fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, bile acids, and serum calprotectin Time: 12 WeeksDescription: Investigators will measure body composition to determine muscle and fat store changes over the course of 12 weeks on ivacaftor treatment compared to baseline.
Measure: Muscle/Fat Stores Time: 12 WeeksDescription: Investigators will observe the changes in growth status/growth velocity. This will be assessed amongst three different measurements- length (cm), weight (kg) and head circumference (cm). Each value will be used to calculate the growth velocity percentile of the subjects over the course of 12 weeks on ivacaftor treatment compared to baseline.
Measure: Growth Status/Growth Velocity Time: 12 WeeksIn contrary to what is seen in FRT cells, rectal organoids of patients with a R334W mutation do respond to CFTR modulators ivacaftor and lumacaftor. The present study will investigate the response to modulators in organoids of 30 patients with CF and a R334W mutation, to allow further stratificaton for a future clinical trial assessing the clinical effect of ivacaftor/tezacaftor in patients with CF and a R334W mutation.
